* TheCameo: One episode features the appearance of [[Anime/ZettaiMutekiRaijinOh Raijin-Oh]] and its pilots saving Kotaro. And that's not even counting how Taida makes a random background appearance at least every other episode.

* MonsterOfTheWeek: Again, par for the course.

We start with young troublemaker Kotaro Kirigakure skipping out on ninja training with his father Toubei. Naturally, said father is not pleased with this, causing a father-son spat that ends with Kotaro accidentally breaking a large stone that acted as a seal for Gokuark, one of the rulers of the "Daimakai"[[note]]"Great Demon World"[[/note]]. Naturally, upon freed, the demon king sets out to wreak havoc.

...for about a minute before Yaminorius shows up again. Kotaro's dad tries to attack him, and gets turned into a dog for his troubles. then tries to do the same to the young trio, but Eldoran's power seemingly protects them. However, before retreating, Yaminorius warns them that his magic is still in effect, and should anybody find out their identities, it will override Eldoran's protection and turn them into dogs.

Added DiffLines:

* TheMagicGoesAway: Parodied in the ending. The kids never actually lose their powers after the war is over... but they instead opt to bury all of their gear in the park to stop a bored Kotaro from pranking people all over town with his SuperSpeed.
* MidSeasonUpgrade: The team eventually get their hands on two other robots, Revolger and Gekiryuger, and later manage to [[CombiningMecha combine all three]] into the Great Ganbaruger. The twist being that since the Ganba Team only has three members, Rikiya and Yosuke have to leave Kotaro piloting Ganbaruger alone to get the other two to the battlefield.


Added DiffLines:

* OddballInTheSeries: Notably the only Eldran show to not focus on an entire class, the three leads have an actual SecretIdentity they need to hide from their friends and families, and the robots are hidden all over town instead of just the school. The show ends up operating more like a standard superhero show due to that change.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Sentai}}: A textbook example, aside from the usual color roles being shuffled around (making the Yellow goofball the leader and the responsible Red TheLancer).

Added DiffLines:

* KidHero: Par for the course. In fact, ''Ganbaruger'' stands out as having the youngest team in the ''Eldoran'' series, with its protagonist having not even lived a full decade.
* MonsterOfTheWeek: Again, par for the course.

''Genki Bakuhatsu Ganbaruger'' is a SuperRobot anime produced by Creator/{{Sunrise}} and funded by Tomy in 1992. It is the 2nd entry of the Eldoran series, preceded by ''Anime/ZettaiMutekiRaijinOh''.

We start with young troublemaker Kotaro Kirigakure skipping out on ninja training with his father Toubei. Naturally, said father is not pleased with this, causing a father-son spat that ends with Kotaro accidentally breaking a large stone that acted as a seal for Gokuark, one of the rulers of the "Daimakai"[[note]]"Great Demon World"[[/note]]. Naturally, upon freed, the demon king sets out to wreak havoc.

Or rather, he would if Eldoran, the defender of Earth, wasn't on the scene. He uses his powers to reseal Gokuark, who uses the last of his powers to send out his servant, Yaminorius III. Eldoran, in return, sends out the robot Ganbaruger to chase after him. A battle across the town ensues, causing Ganbaruger to split and vanish.

Later, Kotaro and his friends Rikiya and Yosuke are heading off to play baseball when suddenly, they see a crash. They then go over to find three robots just sitting laying in the middle of the woods. They end up jumping into the robots and get wrist watches that gives them all full-body suits, only for Yaminorius to summon up a "Makaijuu"[[note]]"Demon World Beast"[[/note]] to attack the robots. The boys try to run away, only for Kotaro's dad to find them and insist that they fight. Eventually they get around to that, and combine their three machines, reforming Ganbaruger, and take out the Makaijuu. The day is saved!

...for about a minute before Yaminorius shows up again. Kotaro's dad tries to attack him, and gets turned into a dog for his troubles. then tries to do the same to the young trio, but Eldoran's power seemingly protects them. However, before retreating, Yaminorius warns them that his magic is still in effect, and should anybody find out their identities, it will override Eldoran's protection and turn them into dogs.

Thus begins the often-times wacky adventure to defend a small town from the invasion of demons.

See also ''Anime/TheBraveOfGoldGoldran'' of its "big brother" franchise, the ''Anime/BraveSeries'', by the same creators, as it is similar in that it tells a comedy-focused story of an elementary-aged FreudianTrio, in contrast to most of the other entries in their respective franchise.

* ColorCodedCharacters: Unlike ''Raijin-Oh'', this show plays it straight.
** Kotaro, aka "Yellow Ganba," pilots the yellow Go Tiger.
** Rikiya, aka "Red Ganba," pilots the red King Elephant.
** Yosuke, aka "Blue Ganba," pilots the blue Mach Eagle.
* SecretIdentity: Justified; if anybody finds out the real identity of the Ganba Team, they'll get turned into dogs, which would not only put a damper on real life, but also make it almost impossible to pilot their robots.
